Thought I'd post a new thread for these and here's the story (part 1)!!!

It actually starts in the early or mid 70's!!! My aunt and uncle (just had their 1st of 4 children) were visiting our home in Massachusetts for a week from Wisconsin. During their stay -several other relatives came by to visit...including a cousin (a year younger than I)from Connecticut. Her and I got along really well and our aunt and uncle from WI invited us to visit that summer...which included going to the Wisconsin State Fair to see Gordon Lightfoot!!!

We were 13 and 14...or 14 and 15 at the time so this was sometime between 1975 and 1977. When talking to Barry after this past concert -I asked him what year he joined the band (1976) and he remembered performing at the Wisconsin State Fair!! Not sure if they performed there more than once -and if this had been the same year my cousin and I were to go, or not.
